1t Was Not sheol in Those Days

In the good old days .'bcfo' dc wah'
our fathers and mothers were more
firmly fixed upon the rock of orthodox
than their degenerate sons and daugh
ters. and the new-fangled .'isms'' made
slow progress among those who were
grounded in the belief that lin Adam 5
fall we sin-ned ALL" etc, etc.
A lady of our acquaintance tells a
good one illustrative of the above. She
and her brother were attendants upon
the Sunday school of the orthodox
church in the village in which they
lived. The Universalists were endeav-
oring to establish q church there, and
held Sunday services and Sabbath
school in the town hall.
As the children We're on the way to
Sunday school one day, the boy insist.
ed upon leaving the beaten path and
attending the lately organized school,
greatly to his sisters indignation.
In consequence of the young mans
contumacy the affair reached the di.
mensions of a regular ''scene" upon
the public street, in which a sturdy boy
was marching off toward the hail. with
little girl hanging to his jacket shirt,
weeping in heart broken fashion.
Whats the matter, sis?" asked a
gentleman whom they met Has
your. brother been whipping you?'
mo, sir, but he's real naughty"
What has he been doing?"

school at the hall!'
